  • Can I remove a scar by cutting it open and then healing it?

    Jump

  • You said the scar is very thin, so you might get results from an over the counter product like Scargo, especially if the scar isn't too old. I've used it successfully before.

  • Is there an easy way to remotely monitor another person's pulse?

    Jump

  • Excellent. I do this all the time, answer the wrong question. But yes, you are completely right, check pulse with your fingers. I feel very close to you right now.

    Atheists of Lemmy, what are your thoughts on the Islamic Dilemma?

    Jump

  • I didn't know there was an Islamic dilemma. Also, I don't care about it any more than I would care about a dilemma in any other religion. Religion is such a cancer in the world, I prefer to keep my mind clear of it.

  • She's surprised that the supreme court would strip rights away from Americans? Good thing she doesn't need an abortion. I have only contempt and tiny violins for her, while I am filled with rage and terror for my trans kid and hir trans wife, and my gay mother and her gay wife. And for my disabled self, of course. When they come for one of us, they come for us all. It's the code of the freaks, and this woman forgot that.

  • How is taxation not theft?

    Jump

  • Let's turn the question around. You benefit from the many things other people's taxes have provided, even before you were born. You were probably born in a hospital funded by taxes. The hospital staff was educated by public schools and federally subsidized student loans. You drive on public roads, and are (at least in theory,) protected by publicly funded cops, firefighters, and military. (I did say in theory.) You probably get your electricity, water, sewer and trash pickup from a public utility - even though you pay for your usage, you still benefit from the public expenditure to build and maintain that infrastructure.

    So the real question is how is not paying taxes not theft? You'd be a freeloader, stealing from the rest of us.

  • Oooh, this sounds promising. We have a local server. And my Sense 2 can go a week between charges. Thank you very much. I'll look into it.

    Jump

  • Awwww, thanks. Isn't life just full of these messy, scary, oddball realities that no one ever tells you? I found so many of them in parenthood. Aging looks like more of the same.

  • Good point. Thank you.

  • Why does YouTube feel completely devoid of content? (clarification in body)

    Jump

  • There is lots of great content on YouTube, but you need to do some work to shake it loose. On the thumbnail page, click on the dots next to the image and choose "not interested" to get rid of the same ones showing repeatedly.

    Try searching for terms you are interested in. Once you watch a couple of videos on the same subject, they'll keep trying to show you more, which one be a good thing or not, depending.

    Creators come and go, so finding new ones is an ongoing process.

    Do you take the deal: Musk admits he rigged the election and provides proof in exchange for a pardon from the next Democratic president.

    Jump

  • Don't confuse the country with the people or the land. While many humans do seem to be an utter waste of space, the species is still worth preserving (imo.)

    Alas, I understand all too well about leaving the theater before the rush. I'm liable to do that, too.

  • How to get over it and move on without being numbed out?

    Jump

  • I feel like a certain amount of numb might be the best thing for you right now. The relationship is over. He is not going to give you what you want, but you keep trying to draw him back in. You're keeping your own wounds open. The fact that he's not emotionally healthy enough to cut you off doesn't make your behavior any healthier.

    You said you want someone to "fight for you." What does that mean? Fight who? You're not a princess locked in a storybook castle, are you? Real life isn't a fairytale. It's not a movie. Real love isn't about drama. It's about just normal caring. Until you can rescue your own mind from the bullshit Hollywood has fed you, you will have a very hard time being part of a genuinely loving relationship.

    Cut this dude loose. Look after yourself. Let your princess out of her tower, so she can live in the real world.

  • To quote Kenan Thompson, "ain't nothing gonna happen." It doesn't make the slightest difference what any of these monsters admit, or how solid the evidence. None of their crimes are news. They've been blatant all along, and we all know it. There is no Big Fix for us. We have already fallen for Lucy's football too many times. Look at history. When it's fascism time, the fascists will fascist, and the rest of us will just have to get down there in the trenches and fight. Together.

  • Have you ever cared how much tax you pay?

    Jump

  • I absolutely did care when I was a single mom just barely getting by, and the state and federal self-employment taxes took such huge bites out of my income. Often, I couldn't pay them and still eat and pay rent, so I racked up interest charges and penalties.

    The self-employment tax system in the USA is royally fucked for people who can hardly support themselves even without it.

  • Ever since I was a kid wanted to ask this if I suspend a car mid air and rev it up to 100mph then drop it how far would it go without me touching the gas or break not even once?

    Jump

  • There are still some variables you haven't mentioned. How high in the air are you talking, and will the car be dropped, or gently lowered? What kind of terrain is it? A flat, paved surface would be different than a field with rocks and bushes.

    I seem to remember a toy car that kids could rev and set down, and it zoomed across the floor very well. A small plastic car isn't the same as a real one, though.

  • TIL the Royal Family always travels with one black outfit in case a relative dies while they're on holiday.

    Jump

  • I never travel with black clothes, because I never travel, and don't own any black clothes, because I never wear black, or attend funerals.

  • Why this annoying trend of having face on videos ?

    Jump

  • I like reaction videos. If you don't like them, don't watch them, this isn't complicated. I think football is stupid, but lots of people love it. It's a big ol world, and it's full of people with nervous systems all firing in different ways. Stop yucking other people's yums.

    Some of us are homebound with various disabilities. Some of us are too ill or too medicated to deal with actual social interaction. Reactions offer a parasocial experience that helps stave off loneliness. Lots of things that seem "stupid" turn out to be helpful for disabled people.

  • does anyone else’s family think their ambitions/goals are “stupid”?

    Jump

  • This sounds like an example of the "crab bucket mentality." It's very common, especially among groups who have experienced trauma such as poverty, war, or racism.

    You can absolutely live your own life, and learn the things you're interested in. Still, it's good to keep some compassion for your family members. They probably do love you and want you to be happy. They might just be frightened of you stepping outside their reality.
